This movie is so good it should be shown, repeatedly, in Latin America, Africa and Asia. Millions foolishly waiting in long lines at US consulates and border crossings must be warned. They and their many descendants can be saved from hideous lives of rage and despair. Oh, thank you Bobcat for your timely message. This wonderful film is a stark warning and will open many eyes to the horror that lies ahead.

What else can one say? Shakespeare this may not be but, hey, its a film that is Satire folks. You see, we can watch something that pokes fun at all those evil right-wing Americans and feel superior at the same time. What more do you want for goodness sake! AND you can fantasize about killing people you don't like! Because you care. After all, its for the children.

Longford was a bit of a twit wasn't he? Or at least in this movie, no? He's made to say: "She has enriched my Spiritual Life" and "No matter how evil (one is), one can be redeemed." Oh really? By whom, one may ask? Isn't that someone else's job? Lady Longford is made to say (shaken to her core): "I had no idea (about prison conditions)". It reminds me of 19th century upper-class mad house viewing but modernized for progressives. Its really about their own feelings. The kids? The real victims? Oh, yeah. Well, whatever . . .

We have people like Longford in the States. They are called ACLU lawyers and they are definitely not trying to find God through slumming. There's a French phrase for this, three words that begin with NdB, but I can't get IMDb to accept.

I did like the camera work and thought the acting superb. Cheers, everyone.
